> BATISTA FLIPS OFF FAN AFTER RUMBLE GOES OFF THE AIR- Batista’s honeymoon with the fans ended yesterday as the Royal Rumblewinner was showered with boos after they realized Daniel Bryan was notgoing to be in the Rumble match. The former WWE and World Heavyweightchampion however lost his cool and ended the night by flipping the bird tothe fans in the Consol Energy Center, not something that a baby faceusually does, unless your name is Stone Cold Steve Austin. On the way tothe back after his win and when cameras stopped rolling, Batista waswelcomed with a middle finger by a fan while he was high-fiving fans bythe security barricade. Eventually Batista returned the favor to draw evenmore boos from the already-pissed off crowd. Batista’s gesture was caughton the big screen by WWE cameras which were still filming the post-showantics and you can see the photo snapped by a fan at http://w-o.it/1i4ikAj

1980, clip of Blackjack Mulligan and The Mask Superstar against the NWA World Tag Team champions, Ray Steven and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. The interview with Mulligan is about Bobby Duncam interfering in the match and costing the Superstar and Mulligan the titles.

Steamboat pinned Flair after a failed double chickenwing attempt. Flair fell on top of Steamboat, both men's shoulders were down, but Steamboat got his left shoulder up before the three count in the third fall (21:35).

The replay would show that Flair's foot was on the bottom rope, thus allowing him to get one last rematch at WrestleWar 1989.
